So I did a little experiment. I made identical profiles on both Tinder and POF. I’m sorta tall, moderately good looking, and well dressed. I had a simple bio that included very little information. The type of music I like, my occupation, and my height, (the magical number, 6’0.)

I swiped right on everything with a pulse. Well over a hundred right swipes on each.

Mind you, my Tinder venture was done a month before I got on POF.

I checked back on each profile later.

If you’ve failed to notice by now, Tinder is a no man’s land. It’s really nothing but a cash grab. Pay for gold, pay for boosts, get matches. Don’t pay? No matches.

POF has paid options, but works whether you pay or not. And by my knowledge it’s equal opportunity, as in, the app shows you just as much as it shows everyone else.

After one month, I had 34 Tinder matches.

After one week, I had 160 POF matches.

Ditch Tinder. It will crush your self-esteem into the dirt, and empty your wallet to put it back together again.

I’m about to ask all the POF matches to coffee dates, see how many agree to meet up.

Fuck bitches, get money. I’m out.
